Sands of Life (SoLIFE)

Sands of LIFE was a major conservation project to rejuvenate sand dunes across Wales which ran to June 2024. The project’s aims were to recreate natural movement in the dunes and revitalise habitats which are home to some of our rarest wildlife.


A range of datasets were created as part of this project which included data for Great Crested Newts, Sand Lizard, Fen Orchid's, Invertebrates and Bryophytes. For more information on data created from this project please see child metadata entries. This data includes survey results pre-intervention and post-intervention.
